Note di degustazione
Vivid ruby-red. Expressive red and blue fruit aromas show fine delineation and pick up floral and exotic spice nuances with air. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering sweet raspberry, boysenberry and cherry flavors that are braced by a core of smoky minerality. Shows sharp detail and blue fruit thrust on the impressively long finish, which is given shape by silky, harmonious tannins.

One of the benchmark reds from Ribeira Sacra is the 2016 Lalama, a blend of Mencía with 10% Brancellao, Mouratón, Sousón and Garnacha Tintorera that is very expressive and fresh in the cooler 2016 vintage. It shows the more floral and pretty face of Mencía (even if it has some 10% other varieties) produced in a very approachable and attractive way that is easy to understand by a wide audience. It has a nice combination of aromas, fruit, herbs, flowers and spices, with judicious oak that gives it a creamy touch. It's nicely textured and has a soft and balanced mouthfeel, fine tannins and balanced acidity. Delicious! 63,325 bottles and 540 magnums produced. It was bottled in May 2018.
